Description: | This mask is attached to a wooden base and carved from a dark wood. Both the base and the face of the mask show evidence of a red pigment. There are slits for the eyes and the open mouth shows filed teeth. The well-formed ears appear relatively high up on the mask. Carving below the eyes show tear marks and the Maltese cross is evident on the forehead, both of which suggest cross-cultural appropriation of symbols. There is also evidence of geometric patterning on the skullcap. Holes around the perimeter of the mask indicate other materials were attached and part of the whole ensemble.
